Luxury Beach property The Lookout, sleeping 7

The home
The Lookout runs over two floors, linked by a spiral staircase. The main living area has a wood burner, a modern kitchen and two tables for eating together, and opens onto a large terrace with the sea straight ahead. There is a barbecue on the living room balcony. The master bedroom has its own ensuite and a private balcony, the spot for a quiet coffee before anyone else is up.

The second bedroom is flexible: set up as a double with an extra single, or as three singles on a zip-and-link, which makes it easy for a family with children or a group of adults sharing. A dedicated workspace covers anyone who has to log on.

Why you'll love it
The view goes all the way to France
Uninterrupted panoramic sea views from the terraces, and on a clear day you can see across to France. The large windows bring it inside; the two terraces and the master balcony make the most of it outside.
A master bedroom with its own balcony
The master has an ensuite and a private balcony facing the sea. Breakfast out there, or just the first coffee, is the sort of thing that decides who gets which room.
Flexible enough for a family or a group of friends
Two bedrooms taking up to 7. The second bedroom sets up as a double plus a single, or as three singles, so it suits a family with children or a group of adults sharing. Fair warning: the beds comfortably cover about five, with the rest on a sofa bed, so it is at its easiest at four to five and still works at a full seven.
A wood burner for the evenings
When the sea breeze turns cool, the wood burner and a couple of tables make the living room the place everyone ends up. Not a bad way to close a day on the beach.
Food, if you want it handled
Optional extras include a pre-stocked fridge for arrival, a catered dinner, a cake for a birthday or an anniversary, and a hamper for a day out. There is a daily maid service on request too. All optional. The kitchen is yours if you would rather cook.
Dogs are welcome
Bring the dog. There is a dog-friendly beach and a coastal park close by, with direct access to the sand. Fair warning: the main bathing beach may have seasonal dog restrictions over the summer, so it is worth a quick check for July and August stays.
Sandgate on the doorstep, London within reach
Sandgate village, with its cafés, antiques and a gastropub, is a short walk along the promenade. Folkestone's Harbour Arm and Creative Quarter are a short drive, and Folkestone to London St Pancras runs in under an hour on the high-speed line.
